第四千章 云隐宗与仙道盟

Moreover, the域外天魔 outside Penglai Immortal Island were watching with hungry eyes and would not give them a chance to repair their defenses.

In other words, the Nine True Subduing Demons Great Array was constantly depleting itself each day, and there would come a time when it would be breached.

Qianqian Immortal Maiden understood this principle; how could Void Lord Demon fail to know it as well?

Thus, he did not rush. After suffering a loss once, he no longer pursued immediate gains but instead focused on recuperation, dispatching celestial demons and demonized cultivators to consume the power of the Nine True Subduing Demons Great Array.

To hide and avoid was foolish beyond measure; they were sealing themselves into a death trap. One day, I will strip their souls and refine their essences one by one.

Void Lord Demon silently vowed and did not return to his main base but instead stayed outside Penglai Immortal Island.

Meanwhile, the rest of the heavenly demons continued their assault with fervor, advancing from all directions to thoroughly clear out the Dragon Cage Realm's forces.

After all, this realm ranked among the top five in the Spirit Realm. The significance of conquering it was beyond words.

...

These were the messages Lin Xuan and Lingyun had gathered from the Spirit Water Sect.

The Spirit Water Sect was merely a mid-sized sect with negligible overall strength to Lin Xuan's eyes. However, they had traveled extensively, avoiding attacks by celestial demons, making their information network exceptionally well-informed.

Their expressions when looking at Lin Xuan were somewhat odd; in their view, much of this knowledge should have been personal experiences for Lord Alliance Lin, so why ask him?

Lin Xuan did not have the mood to elaborate on these matters. He could hardly imagine how dire the situation in Dragon Cage Realm had become in just a few years.

Indeed, it was several years.

While it seemed that Lin Xuan had not been away for long, time passed differently within the Little Immortal Domain compared to the Spirit Realm. From his perspective, he had actually been gone nearly ten years.

Lin Xuan and Lingyun no longer felt like joking around; they were too preoccupied with their current predicaments.

As the saying goes, saving someone is like putting out a fire. Lingyun True Man rushed off with Little Fairy Fox to Penglai Immortal Island to save his wife.

Whereas Lin Xuan, needless to say, hurried towards Cloud Concealment Sect in the opposite direction.

One misstep could lead to regret for all time; he did not want this slight delay to result in a disappointing outcome. The wind rushed past him at breakneck speed.

Lin Xuan's speed was naturally beyond description—instantaneous travel over a thousand miles.

However, Lin Xuan failed to notice that his haste had led him off course. Only after several days of flying through countless mountains and rivers did he realize his mistake.

Tears welled up in his eyes but could not fall.

Even wise men can make one mistake in a thousand; Lin Xuan never imagined that he would commit such a basic error one day.

But there was no use feeling depressed now. Lin Xuan had to turn around and head back towards Cloud Concealment Sect.

Was it still too late?

Lin Xuan did not know.

Just then, his inner sense of foreboding was absent. Among all the arts of cultivation, Lin Xuan was least skilled in divination; his current depression could hardly be put into words.

...

At this moment, Cloud Concealment Sect.

The main base had changed significantly compared to usual. Amidst towering mountains and rugged terrain, countless buildings sprang up, with some caves carved out within the mountain itself.

To inquire about something, fellow daoists should pay attention to Vrain's WeChat; she will be posting an event today with generous prizes. There are also some fun materials you shouldn't miss. You can search "Myth of a Thousand Refinements Vrain" or "hchy1982" on WeChat.

The density was far greater than that of ordinary sects.

This approach was inappropriate because the number of cultivators a spirit vein could support had its limits. This is why two sects would fight to the death over a good spirit vein.

Cloud Concealment Sect, however, seemed to disregard this rule. The extensive development of caves placed a significant burden on the spirit vein's capacity.

If any cultivator paid attention, they would notice that compared to several years ago, the aura was noticeably thinner. While it had not yet reached unbearable levels, continuing in this manner would eventually destroy Cloud Concealment Sect's spirit vein.

However, at this moment, Cloud Concealment Sect could no longer afford such luxury; ten times more cultivators than usual now gathered within its range.

Some were those who retreated with the Daoist Alliance after their defeat. Others entered secretly through hidden传送阵s.

Indeed, a large sect like Cloud Concealment would build some secret传送阵s for emergencies, but only a few people knew about them.

Over these years, Cloud Concealment Sect had indeed utilized them to gather essential supplies—rare and superior-grade crystal stones with mutated properties, materials needed for important array formations.

Without such supplies, the sect might not have survived. Although cultivators did not need food like mortals, other supplies were indispensable, especially for a disadvantaged party like Cloud Concealment Sect.

Each activation of a secret传送阵 was kept strictly confidential, but the celestial demons' cunning had inevitably exposed some over time. Some were destroyed by the celestial demons; others were infiltrated by the enemy to launch inside-out attacks on the main base.

Despite their failures, these incursions caused significant damage due to the presence of high-ranking cultivators each time.

The number of usable传送阵s was decreasing, and every use was handled with extreme caution. They would not be used unless absolutely necessary.

...

This was a secluded pavilion in the back hills of Cloud Concealment Sect. Its location was extremely hidden, surrounded by numerous禁制s and many cultivators on guard.

Inside the pavilion sat ten cultivators. The man at the main seat had an ordinary appearance but exuded a presence that commanded respect without needing to be angry.

To his left sat one male and one female in their twenties, who looked weathered and mature despite their young age. Other Cloud Concealment Sect disciples would instantly recognize them as Senior Elder Long and Silver-eyed Maiden.

The cultivators on the sides were strangers but all at the Transcendence Stage.

The first on the left was a woman in black attire with an exquisite appearance, yet she carried a faint aura of evil—Black Phoenix Demoness.

To her right sat an old man with a sickly appearance, wearing gray robes and looking extremely thin. However, his presence did not fall short of that of the Black Phoenix Demoness.

Vernon Immortal Lord!

The other Transcendence cultivators had more unfamiliar faces but were all well-known figures. These were undoubtedly Cloud Concealment Sect's strongest experts at this moment. (To be continued...)
